Iran's delegation, led by Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Gharibabadi, has held meetings with Qatari and Pakistani counterparts to discuss the implementation of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the United States and Iran. The talks, part of ongoing diplomatic efforts, aim to ensure the effective execution of the 60-day roadmap agreed upon by the parties to reach a final peace deal.
The Islamabad MOU, signed on June 18, 2026, outlines a framework for ending the 2026 Iran war and includes provisions for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping, the lifting of U.S. sanctions on Iranian oil exports, and the release of frozen Iranian assets. The agreement also establishes a High-Level Committee, comprising representatives from the U.S., Iran, Qatar, and Pakistan, to oversee the implementation process and facilitate further technical discussions.
During the recent meetings, Gharibabadi emphasized the importance of maintaining communication channels between the involved parties to prevent incidents and ensure safe passage for commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz. Additionally, a de-confliction cell was established to monitor the cessation of military operations in Lebanon, as stipulated in the MOU de-confliction cell.
The U.S. has already taken steps to implement the agreement, including the release of $12 billion in frozen Iranian funds and the temporary easing of sanctions on Iranian oil exports [5]. These measures are intended to provide Iran with immediate economic relief while negotiations continue on broader issues, including nuclear program restrictions and sanctions relief.
The ongoing diplomatic process reflects the commitment of both the U.S. and Iran to a peaceful resolution of the conflict, with Qatar and Pakistan playing a central role as mediators. The next phase of negotiations is expected to focus on finalizing the terms of a comprehensive agreement, with the ultimate goal of achieving lasting peace in the region.
